Report: FBI probes hacker attack on Citigroup

“The FBI is investigating a hacker attack on Citigroup Inc. that led to the theft of tens of millions of dollars, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.

Citing anonymous government officials, the Journal reported that the hackers were connected to a Russian cyber gang. Two other computer systems, at least one of connected to a U.S. government agency, were also attacked.

Citigroup denied the report. ‘We had no breach of the system and there were no losses, no customer losses, no bank losses,’ said Joe Petro, managing director of Citigroup’s Security and Investigative services. ‘Any allegation that the FBI is working a case at Citigroup involving tens of millions of losses is just not true.’”
